+ /// We use composition to model the __state__ of our new application:

+ /// We can store the state of multiple counters now. However, the
+ /// __messages__ we implemented before describe the user interactions
+ /// of a __single__ counter. Right now, we need to also identify which
+ /// counter is receiving user interactions. Can we use composition again?
+ /// Yes.
